Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off the excess, then into the eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken fingers in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let drain on paper towels.
